Hi I not agree with "Java3D is dead". The current release 1.3.1 is mature, and offers a good sub-set of OpenGL 1.3 features. Come on! It was released just few month ago !!! Or do you think this is like nvidia boards : a new one each 6 months ?
A new release of Java3D (1.4 ?) should : * offers the main features of DX9 and OGL 1.4/2.0; * use/offer the new features of the upcomming Java 1.5 (did you read about that?) BUT: * A few video cards offers real hardware OpenGL 1.4/2.0 or DirectX 9.0 support today. Then, a Java3D release 1.4 targeting OGL 1.4 and DX9 features will not be so usefull , becouse most of the new features will be done in sotware mode by the video card drivers. * Java 1.5 is not out yet. Software development is hard work...
